GQNBEHSER,

object ot the invention is to so Another construct and arrange a fixed condenser that its capacity may be ii'icreased or decreased at Will by the Hereto'tore tine made ot al metal toil,

To the attainment o invention consists in cer construction and which vv ill arrangement be 'fully understood inafter given.

Ot the draivinv:

ot the top plate as view ot the plate, next below ortions of which are seen in .therefore it is not the intention to limit the invention to the precise construction and arrangement shown as slight changes might be made therein Without departing from its spirit and scope in the present instance a base l0, of insulating material, has the opstanding screws ll, ll and 3.2s l2 secured thereto' by means ot' nuts 13, 13 and "i4, 11i, but it- Will be understood that they may be secured in any suitable manner, but preferably in such way that they may be removed.

The plates comprising the condenser are ari'an'ed in two series, and are the same size and siliape, the plates ot one series being mounted in a position reversed Ytroni that ot the other se ies, and havev a generally rectangular body lo, with diagonally arranged Wings or extensions i6 at opposite sides thereof, which ha e the holes 17, as seen in 'Fiffure e which, let it be supposed, represents one oit the series A platesE While Figure 3 represents oney o the series B plates. Viewing 1Figures l, 2,7 and it will be seen that the bottom plate is a series A piste, with the'screws 1i., li iassing through its holes 17, 17, next above it is a series B plate, With holes 17, i7, through which the screws l2, 12 pass, and having Washers 'i8 between it. and the nuts lll.

Next above the series B plate is series plate which iioivevci' is separated troni the i'irst series fi 'plate by niotal on the screws 11.,` 1L the said Washers being of a suilicient thickness to properly separa-te the platesso that there will be air space the required amount between cach et the plates and to permit the plates or' one series- Washers "i9 to be positioned between the plates ot tac 1 plate ot' one series and then a plate of the other, alternating, untillthe capacity is an rived at, and by applying nuts 20, 20 and 21, 21 the plates of both series may be iirmly locked in position.

F or convenience in connecting the condenser in circuitterniinals 25 and 26 are used, one of which, 25, may be attached to either one of the screws 11, While the other 26,' may be attached to 'either one of the screws 12, as the series A plates are secured to the screws 11, and the-series B plates are eeured to the screws 12.

' To reduce the capacity of the condenser,

one or more the occasion. f

Havin described the invention I claim:

A con enser of the class described comprising a plurality' of nude metal plates identical in form and shape, arranged in a stack and separated to provide air spaces plates may be removed to lsuit between them, each of said plates comprising a rectangular body portion provided upon two opposite Sides with parallel apertured cars that are diagonally opposite each other, said plates being constituted by two sets whereof those of one setI are reversed with respect to their ears with relation to the plates ot' the other set; a base of insulating material; four upstanding posts on said base disposed in a rectangular group and whereof each pair of diagonally disposed posts extends through the apertures of the ears of one set of plates only; spacing Washers on said posts alternating with the ears 4of said plates, and means for clamping said plates and washers together in positions on said posts.
